High School Zone: Long Island NY
Hey gang – We have a HUGE week of games throughout the region. But No. 1 on Today’s Top 5 is not a contest at all. It’s a brand-new feature here at LaxLessons.com. We are proud to officially launch the much-awaited player profiles section of this site. You can see what all the excitement is […]

Instant classic. Titanic struggle. Flat-out war. Choose your overused cliché because each would be an appropriate summation of today’s “Battle of the Sound” opener between Manhasset and host Darien. When it was over, the Indians celebrated like they had just won a state championship. The Blue Wave, on the other hand, had the look of […]
Hey guys, Syracuse here. Without question, the marquee matchup this weekend in our region is Game 1 of the “Battle of the Sound” doubleheader at Darien, pitting the host Blue Wave against Manhasset at 12 p.m. If you survive that epic, you’re in for more good lacrosse in the second game as two of the country’s most […]
Thanks to an impressive start, featuring Kevin Interlicchio’s unheard of 26 goals in just three-plus games, Yorktown rocketed up 11 spots to No. 7 in this week’s Under Armour/Inside Lacrosse power rankings. Yorktown (4-0) was No. 22 in the publication’s preseason poll and moved up four spots last week, but after Saturday’s 14-10 win over […]
John Jay has won four straight Class B Section 1 championships. But having lost three all-Americans and with a sophomore filled with 13 sophomores, many seem to feel the Indians’ dynasty is in seriously danger. Those who do invariably point to Somers as the team that could well dethrone the Tuskers. Now, hold on. There […]
As far as Roy Colsey is concerned, his first season as Ridgefield coach will be all about gaining respect. And the former All-American at Yorktown and Syracuse is ready to do just about anything to make sure his team gets it. No, seriously, anything. We will play anyone, Colsey said. This team does not get the credit it […]
Just check these scores, folks. Lindenhurst 8, Ward Melville 5. Comeswogue 11, Manhasset 10, OT. John Jay 13, Rye 7. Yorktown 11, Somers 6. What a day. Where do we start? For video highlights of the Somers-Yorktown game, click here.
Looking back, last week’s Top 25, our second edition of the season, wound up being the proverbial calm before the storm. There were just a few cosmetic changes from our first rankings. But wait till you see what’s happened this week.
Daniel Lohrfink of Byram Hills scores on this shot with 3:42 remaining in the fourth quarter, lifting Byram Hills to a 7-6 victory over Bronxville today in Armonk. It was one of many big games today, including some huge upsets on Long Island, where Ward Melville and Manhasset both suffered losses. (Photo by Jim Stout/MaxPreps.com)
Happy Monday, gang. We will be keeping a close eye on the weather this week. Starting today. Rain is supposed to arrive mid-morning and continue through mid-afternoon. Of course, unless there is heavy rain or thunderstorms, lax is usually played (depending on field conditions.) Stay tuned.
Hey guys, Syracuse here. Well, this much is known: Through a handful of games, Yorktown is very much for real. St. Anthony’s may be more hype than actual substance. Manhasset appears to be one of the top teams on Long Island and probably the state and rebuilding John Jay will do whatever is necessary to […]
That’s the question teams and players throughout the region are asking these days about Johns Hopkins-bound Yorktown junior Kevin Interlicchio. (Photo by Jim Stout/MaxPreps.com) So far, in two-and-a-half games (he sat out the second half of Yorktown’s season-opening win over North Rockland), the answer has been a resounding no as Interlicchio has scored an astonishing […]
St. Anthony’s vs. Chaminade. You don’t have to say much more than that. The longtime CHSAA powerhouses will be renewing their rivalry today at 4:15 p.m. at Chaminade. St. Anthony’s is No. 2 in the LaxLessons.com regional rankings. Chaminade is No. 7.
Three intriguing Long Island showdowns highlight today’s slate. Here’s a rundown. Be sure to check back later for score updates.
